Yep, I Love Him

Joe walked in the door after a later-ish meeting last night.

He handed me the keys to his car and said something along the lines of  "Go, grab a magazine and go out to eat.  I've got the kids, take a break!"

Ummmm, OKAY!

It was pretty wonderful, I must say. For all the love I have for my kiddos, sometimes a break is fantastic, too.

I stopped first at Dorothy Lane Market and debated over things like People or US Weekly, Ohio magazine or Oxygen. This process took more time than I'd like to admit.

I had the Portobello Wrap at Boro Bistro. It's such a girly place. I love it. They even put an orange wedge in your water. Lemon is so yesterday.

Y'all (my friend, Rachel is from Texas...she's rubbing off on me), I chewed my food. I even took note of each ingredient I was enjoying. Divine. I went back and forth between eating, reading (I chose People and the Ohio magazine) and listening to the trendy music playing overhead. I daydreamed about the songs I would add to my blog if I was one of those bloggers who actually knew how to add music to their blog. I'm not, by the way, but someday.

I came home all giddy and recharged. Just the break I needed. I think it was even better because it was unexpected.

Yep, I love him.

XOXO,
Angie

  1. Ahhhh that was nice of him. I don't know if you live close to a Barnes and
    Noble but I love to go there and get a stack of mags and sit in a comfy chair and look through them.
    A very cheap date.
    Do you care if I borrow a couple of pictures from your blog to feature you on my blog. If so, let me know.

  2. Hi
    Angie. Can you send you blog address to my email. I am going to make a post about you. I'm not very computer with it. I know mine is blog spot but didn't know for sure what yours is. Do you care if I say you are from Springboro. I can just say Ohio. I want to use the picture of your kids having tea. Thanks.

  3. I found you through Debby! What a nice gal to find you for us! I am a Nana, about Debby's age, and your little boys are beautiful! You need to get a bit more recognized though. Do you know DebbyDoo's blog? She promotes new/smaller blogs and gets them recognized.

    I remember days of "getting away" from the kids I loved! Hugs- Diana

  5. That sounds lovely! What an awesome surprise from your husband! If mine did that, I think I might fall out of my chair. And then run, before he changed his mind :) Glad you got a few minutes to yourself!
